Google is baking Gemini into Maps. Would you switch to the fast, privacy- and battery-friendly Organic Maps? What’s stopping you from switching?

> What is stopping you from switching?

- No alternative routes to choose from.
- In some cases, non-optimal or even plain wrong routes.
- I love downloaded maps, for offline navigation, but I don't want to be bothered with downloading them manually (automatic downloading still has issues).
- UX issues in Android Auto.

@fr3d - Alternate routes are planned.
- Can you please report non-optimal and wrong routes on our GitHub, so we can investigate and fix them? Please check if related OpenStreetMap.org data is correct.
- Automatic updates and downloads are planned
- Which UX issues do you see in Android Auto? We can't fix them without your feedback. Please check our GitHub and add/update the things you think are important.
